Who it’s best for

Runners who want to hear traffic while listening to music.
People who find in-ear buds uncomfortable.
Shoppers who want open-ear earbuds under $70.

Who should skip it

Probably not the best fit if you want the best-known brand, Shokz, or bone conduction.

Pick OpenRockReviewed by Vetteroo if you…

run or bike near traffic.
don't like in-ear buds.

Pick Shokz if you…

want the best-known open-ear brand.

Our take

OpenRock sells open-ear earbuds at lower prices than the big names, with decent reviews for sound. Outside ratings are thin and returns are strict. Compare Shokz for the best-known option.
